Start your morning on the water as the Space Coast wakes up. Watch the sunrise fill the sky while Port Canaveral and the surrounding waterways slowly come to life. Enjoy the peaceful morning atmosphere and keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, and coastal birds along the way. Every morning on the water offers something a little different.
Enjoy relaxed sightseeing through Port Canaveral and the nearby waterways, with incredible views of massive cruise ships, commercial and recreational boats, SpaceX activity, and—when timing allows—returning rocket boosters. From the working waterfront to wildlife along the shoreline, there is always something interesting to see around one of Florida’s most active and unique ports.
The last stretch of warm afternoon light, when the water goes soft and gold and the harbor slows down. Open air. Open water. Nothing to rush. Our most photogenic ninety minutes, with possible wildlife sightings along the way. A perfect way to start your evening before dinner.
Open water below. The Space Coast sky above. Join us for a chance to watch a rocket launch from the water when the launch schedule and conditions allow.
For Captain Cory and Emory, Good Vibes Tiki will always be part of their love story. Here, beneath the thatched canopy and surrounded by the water, Captain Cory asked Emory to marry him. Her yes turned a day on the boat into the beginning of their next chapter together.
That memory is now part of this little boat’s story—and there’s room for yours, too. Bring someone you love, gather your favorite people, or celebrate a milestone of your own. Come aboard and make a day you’ll love looking back on.
